In August of 1970 a rash of UFO sightings occurred in the skies over Prescott, Arizona. Over a two-week period many hundreds of flying saucers were seen by hundreds of witnesses. This prompted Chief Dan Katchongva of the Hopi Sun Clan, his councilor, and an interpreter to travel southwest about one hundred and twenty-five miles from his village of Hotevilla on Third Mesa to Prescott to learn more of the event.

He described to the Prescott Courier an ancient petroglyph near the village of Mishongnovi on Second Mesa that depicts a dome-shaped object. “‘We believe other planets are inhabited and that our prayers are heard there,’ he said. ‘The arrow on which the dome-shaped object rests, stands for travel through space,’ Katchongva said in explaining the rock carving. ‘The Hopi maiden on the dome-shape (drawing) represents purity. Those Hopi who survive Purification Day will travel to other planets. We, the faithful Hopi, have seen the ships and know they are true,’ he said.”

Paul Solem, a non-Indian expert on Hopi prophecy and Mormon doctrine, was also key figure during the Prescott sightings. He even claimed to attract the flying saucers by telepathically communicating with them. In one instance he took a group of people outside and then began to mentally focus on extraterrestrial contact. He soon exclaimed: “They are here! I can’t see them, but I know they are here. One just said, ‘We’re here, Paul!’ There are several people in the saucer. I can hear them talking.” After a few minutes a star-like UFO appeared, halted, then moved first in one direction and then the other.

He believed the entities in the spacecraft were angelic and kind, like the Hopi kachinas (spirit messengers), and hailed from the planet Venus. He said that they had shoulder-length hair neatly cut and their voices were musical and androgynous. This sounds like what we would describe today as the typical Nordic ET. He even received their proclamations, which he transcribed:

“We come to lend credence and as a sign or token that the Hopi prophecy was of a divine nature. Great sorrow and fear will be coming to this planet very soon and few will escape it. Our leader as spoken of in Hopi prophecy is already here (on Earth) in mortality and is known as the Apostle John (the same as in the New Testament). The white brother shall be introduced by a huge fire and the Earth shall quake at his arrival. We are of the 10 lost tribes and we will return several nights unless there is contempt for us.”

Local UFO researcher Dan Carlson said that the area around Prescott had been a magnet for many of the early important though controversial figures in the field of ufology, including George Adamski, Daniel Fry, George Van Tassel, as well as former Prescott residents Truman Bethurum and George Hunt Williamson. “If one is to believe Hopi prophecy,” Carlson remarked, “the reasons the saucers are sighted here most often and contacters seem to be attracted here is that this is a chosen land. Prescott is within the Hopi circle of sacred ground where the beings from another world are supposed to bring about prophecy.”

Chief Katchongva had been one of the elders most active in bringing the knowledge of Hopi legends and prophecies of End Times to the world at large. www.hopiland.net/prophecy/katch-1.htm He believed that these persistent UFO visitations were among the signs and omens that the Fourth World (the current era) is about to end. Apparently on the last day of his visit to Prescott an unidentified spacecraft flew in very low—about eight hundred feet.

Chief Katchongva passed away in 1972 at age 107 under some rather strange circumstances. When Dan Katchongva ‘died’, his body was never found. He was last seen walking up a small valley where a UFO had just been seen.

Thumb Butte in Prescott, Arizona, is a miniature version of Devils Tower, Wyoming, which was featured in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Like the larger geological uplift, it may serve as a beacon for extraterrestrial craft. According to Mrs. Irene Wood during the 1970 Prescott sightings: “ …we saw a huge brilliant mass of light looking as big as three moons coming very fast over Thumb Butte. It seemed almost over Prescott and went to the east. It halted and a huge mass detached itself and fell straight down behind the hills.” Was this a UFO or merely a huge meteor?

My words are mere expression, but they strip my thinking bare; they make me take the time one needs to think those thoughts with "hair." Too, I don't care a tittle or a wink that they might rhyme, they're like true wings on which I soar, to starry reaches climb!

Why, I'd wear hair shirts to feel like this; I'd use illegal drugs. The feeling's indescribable! It trumps the pleasure plug!

Unrestrained, I beat these wings to kiss a shining face, then crash on through to wheel and turn and wander time and space!

Consciousness is where it's at! It's the language of the soul. It PROVIDES completeness of a type not bought or sold! Yes, there's MORE than "white bread" in the thoughts that leap and fly as they push the sullen air around to seek a sentient sky!

This is from Chris about her website and a photo of Earl in the UFO hat I gave him at the hangar 84 in Roswell.
He was a guy with a sense of humor even though he was weeping at the end because he finally got to tell the truth and he was more than thankful for that.

Stanton Friedman & Frank Feschino are on Coast2Coast tonight! Wednesday August 13

"Ufologists Stanton Friedman and Frank Feschino will discuss a terrifying UFO encounter in 1952, when a damaged UFO crash-landed on a farm in the small town of Flatwoods, WV." 

The news snippage they hold together reads "Jets Told To Shoot Down Flying Discs"

This is the real deal folks; the beginning of a new UFO reality about which we "barely" heard -- be there or be square!

Hear it to be near it!

...You want to be in at the ground floor on this puppy, or play catch-up.
